It’s official, Fostoria’s property tax levy has passed. The Board of Elections in Hancock, Wood, and Seneca counties met Monday to count provisional ballots. The Courier reports the provisional count added five votes in favor of the levy. The 6-mill property tax passed by 50 votes on election night.

The levy is part of a fiscal recovery plan for the city. Officials expect it to generate around $3.5 million for the general fund by 2022.
